[Gill]

A history play about Henry VIII which plays fast and loose with history.

[Cera]

This is a really peculiar play about Henry VIII, written sometime around 1603. I know next to nothing about it or about Rowley, but decided to read it because of the excellent title. The play is not what one would call historically accurate, and it doesn't really hold together dramatically -- there's no clear line/theme through it. But a lot of the speeches are awesome, and once I began reading it as Henry VIII fanfic I was very, very happy. Katherine Parr comes off quite well, too; she's clearly as intelligent as the men around her, and also wise enough to downplay her intelligence when it's necessary for her safety. Unexpected for an early 17th century author, but quite pleasing.
